Scott E @RT19581245 Oct 28 Makes me want to be in a movie. See more john h @RT11274104 Jun 1 In The Soup might as well be a metaphor for the difficulties of selling big ideas to Hollywood. Buscemi's character is a struggling screenwriter who dreams of making it big in the film industry. He, quite insanely, decides to insert an ad into a newspaper regarding the sale of his 500-page script. This reflects his ideas and desires to make something different like his Russian mentor Andrei Tarkovsky. He ultimately winds up in illegal activity with a crime boss who finds this screenwriter interesting. A stellar independent picture that loses itself in some areas but only for comedic and nostalgic 1930s gob smacked situations. This film is worth a watch, though, not a necessary watch.

If you didn't know any better, you might think he directed it. Alexandre Rockwell, the actual director, did a marvelous job with this awesome art film. Steve Buscemi is great in the picture as is Sermour Cassel. This is one of my favorites, so I most definitely recommend it. 90/100 See more Steve D @RT35616104 02/22/2023 I didn't find it amusing. See more 06/20/2020 Not for everyone, but if you like thoughtful and meaningful films, you'll be moved by this film. Make sure you see the black and white version. See more 05/15/2020 I always like Steve Buscemi, this was another good one . I thought this was gonna be a little bit like living in oblivion but it ended up not having much to do about creating a movie in the end . I would say this is more about an ambitious filmmaker getting tricked into doing anything but make a film 3.3 See more Read all reviews
